A Special Glacier Park
Afternoon September 9, 2016 |

I went to "town" (Kalispell, over an
hour away) for some shopping one day. When I finished I realized
that the weather was too perfect to miss this opportunity, so I went on
into Glacier Park for a couple of hours. It was a short visit, but
it was a truly special time for me. I really love it
there. |

As I was leaving my house, I tried to capture my view of the Canadian |
|
At the mouth of Lake McDonald inside Glacier National Park | |
Looking the opposite way of the previous picture, you see the river
flowing into the lake. |
As I was standing on the bridge taking in the view, this black bear came out
and started foraging right beneath me. It was really fun to be able to spy on the bear going about his or her business. |
The bear kept foraging in my direction until I started to get nervous, but about that time it decided to head back the other direction. |

The forest floor in that area | |
This is so much more impressive in real life |

Snow in the higher mountains, and low clouds to give it a spooky feel | I love these hanging valleys |
